It’s just the price of progress, I’m afraid. For example, it’s absolutely critical that my toaster be networked with my breadbox at all times, so it knows when to order more bread delivered to me. It’ll be sad if one of them gets bricked, but I can always just buy another $800-breadbox. It’s a small price to pay to not have to notice when I’m low on bread and go buy more, like some kind of ancient Sumerian laborer.
